2. In 2012, the Republic of Metazonia ((hereinafter the “Republic”) was awarded World Bank, African
Development Bank and European Investment Bank funding in the amount of USD 120,000,000 for the
purpose of commissioning a comprehensive program of repairs and upgrades to, and the expansion of,
Ahkam ul Mulk a city of Republic, Water and Sewerage Infrastructure: the Ahkam ul Mulk Water Supply
and Sanitation Project (the “Project”). Pursuant to a condition of the funding, the Republic was obliged to
engage a private operator to manage and operate the water and sewerage system, and carry out some of the
works associated with the Project. The Republic therefore invited tenders for the Project in 2011 (the “Bid
Process”).
Suez International Limited (“Suez”), a company incorporated under the laws of United Kingdom of Great
Britain, and Lawrence Ingenieure and Co. (“Lawrence”), a German corporation, in a joint venture
submitted a joint tender for the Project and were awarded preferred bidder status by the Republic in
December 2011. Suez and Lawrence incorporated ‘SLT’ a company incorporated under the laws of
United Kingdom for the purpose of their investment. Suez holds 80% of SLT’s shares and Lawrence holds
the remaining 20%.
Under the terms of the request for tender, the parties submitting a successful tender were obliged to
incorporate a local Metazonian operating company to enter into the contracts associated with the Project
(the “Operating Company”). The request for tender also required that a minimum number of shares in
the Operating Company were to be held by a local Metazonian company or a Metazonian national. SLT
decided to cooperate in this respect with Marshall Trailer Manufacture Co. (T) Limited (“MTM”), a
company incorporated in Metazonia. SLT incorporated Lucy Water Services Limited (“Lucy Water”)
under the laws of Metazonia on December 17, 2011, as the Operating Company. MTM subsequently
agreed to acquire a minority shareholding in Lucy Water. SLT holds 51% of the shares in Lucy Water,
and MTM holds the remaining 49%.
PTO
Ahkam ul Mulk Water and Sewerage Authority (hereinafter “AHWASA”) is a Metazonian public
corporation, established under the AHWASA Act 1980, partially repealed by the AHWASA Act 2000.
The operating company, Lucy Water, entered into three key contracts with AHWASA on February 19,
2012. Among all three, the most important contract was the Water and Sewerage Lease Contract (the
“Lease Contract”) according to which Lucy Water had to provide water and sewerage services for a ten
year period in a designated area and implement certain capital works required for modernization project.
The Lease Contract required Lucy Water to pay rental fees to AHWASA. In the Lease Contract, the
parties were described as Lucy Water and the Republic, as represented by AHWASA.
Prior to the handover of operations to Lucy Water on August 1, 2012 (the “Handover”), AHWASA was
responsible for the provision of water and sewerage services to the residents of Ahkam ul Mulk and the
surrounding area. After the Handover from AHWASA, Lucy Water’s role was to operate the water
production, transmission and distribution systems, operate and maintain the sewerage system, and to build
and collect revenue from the customers receiving these services.
According to the Lease Contract, Lucy Water would collect an operator tariff, which would fund its
operations; a lessor tariff, which it would turn over to AHWASA; and a first-time connection tariff (FTC
Tariff), which would be placed in a trust account to fund low-income users’ connection charges. In turn
AHWASA also agreed to give Lucy Water exclusive use of certain assets that Lucy Water would lease
from AHWASA, and the exclusive right to operate the designated water services, and promised not to
hinder in any way or conflict with Lucy Water’s operations.
Lucy Water started its performance on August 1, 2012. Following the Handover, and until the events
which took place in May 2014, and which culminated in the seizure of Lucy Water’s operations on June 1,
2014, Lucy Water supplied water and sewerage services under the Lease Contract. In addition to the
infrastructure problems, which were hard to fix, Lucy Water found it difficult to bill and collect from
customers for the services it provided due to various reasons including the resistance of many residents
regarding the rise in the rates.
The most significant issue was Lucy Water’s failure to implement the new billing process, which was the
lifeblood of the system and would help fund Lucy Water’s operations. Lucy Water had underestimated the
difficulty of the project and failed to allocate sufficient managerial and financial resources to it. Lucy
Water requested an increase in the Operator Tariff, but the Republic rejected the request after an auditor’s
report which suggested that it was unwarranted. The position was soon reached where it was clear that
Lucy Water simply could not continue without a fundamental renegotiation of the Lease Contract.
Therefore, in 2014, Lucy Water tried renegotiation with Metazonian Government under the guidance of an
expert mediator Dr. Pollock, a specialist in regulatory and policy matters but the mediation failed.
Finally, between May 13, 2014 and June 1, 2014, AHWASA and other government authorities took
certain steps, including repudiating the lease contract and occupying Lucy Water’s facilities, taking over
the management. And, finally on June 1, 2014, Lucy Water’s senior management were deported, and
representatives of the Republic and AHWASA seized the company’s assets, installed a new management
and took over Lucy Water’s business.
According to SLT, these events constitute the expropriation of SLT’s investment and amount to a breach
of the Republic’s international and domestic obligations, in particular its obligations to grant fair and
equitable treatment, not to take unreasonable and discriminatory measures, the obligation to grant full
protection and security to investors and to guarantee the unrestricted transfer of funds which were
guaranteed under the relevant BIT between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the Republic of
Metazonia (the “BIT”).
On 5 August 2014, ICSID received a request for the institution of arbitration proceedings under the
Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States
PTO
(ICSID Convention) on behalf of SLT Limited against the Republic of Metazonia. SLT based its case on
the Agreement between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the Republic of Metazonia for the
Promotion and Protection of Investments signed at Ahkam ul Mulk on 15 January 1993, and entered into
force on 2 August 1995(the “BIT”). SLT requested damages of USD 20 million.
In accordance with Article 36 of the ICSID Convention, the Secretary-General of ICSID registered the
Request for Arbitration and finally proceedings were started. During the proceeding, apart from other
relevant documents submitted from both sides, two experts’ reports were also submitted by the Republic
of Metazonia as follows:
Dr. Pollock, the expert mediator of renegotiation in 2014 stated that:
“in an overriding way [Lucy Water’s] performance had been pretty poor ... the performance, it was pretty
much regarded by everybody, really, that their performance had not been very good at all”; “the cash
collections ... had clearly deteriorated substantially over the course of the contract period ...”;
“from AHWASA’s perspective, Lucy Water’s performance in that regard ... had been worse than
theirs...”.
Dr. David Fox, another expert in the matter of fair market value of expropriated property, also noted
that:
“by 12 May 2014, Lucy Water had shareholders’ equity of less than negative USD 8,000,000. It was not
paying its bills and was subject to winding up at the instance of any of its creditors. In particular, it was
withholding the Lessor Tariff, the FTC Tariff, and the Rental Fee. As set out earlier, SLT had repeatedly
said Lucy Water was not financially viable under the status quo; and joint financial projections showed
that Lucy Water would suffer significant operating losses going forward. Therefore, as of May 12, 2014,
Lucy Water had no value.”
In the light of all relevant facts stated above and considering the expert reports, answer the following
questions:
(a) Will ‘SLT’ be successful in its claim? Discuss with your reasoning. (Marks 05)
(b) What are the defences available to the ‘Republic’ in the present case? (Marks 05)
3. “There is no single definition of investor and investment but they are the key elements determining the
scope of application of rights and obligations under international investment laws.”

Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (ICSID Convention) and the relevant case laws.
(Marks 10)
